Organizations are mandated by law to establish workplace safety programs to guarantee a safe and healthy work environment. Prioritizing safety in an organization reduces the number of work-related incidents and protects assets from damage.
Maintenance operations complement an organization’s quest to comply with OSHA standards by ensuring all assets and processes operate at safe levels. Through maintenance, companies can identify impending hazards and evaluate the efficiency of emergency safety equipment. Maintenance workers are exposed to several hazards as they execute their duties. Safety training programs are used for creating awareness of job hazards and encouraging safe working practices.
